The map below and the top chart are based on U.S. Department of Transportation figures for 2011 that show the number of driver's licenses for 16-, 17- and 18-year-old drivers in each state. The Gazette-Journal took those figures and U.S. Census Bureau population estimates for those ages for each state to estimate what percentage of those teen drivers have licenses.

For the bottom figures, the Nevada Division of Motor Vehicles provided the number of licensed drivers for the different years and they were compared with historical Census Bureau estimates.
